Chapter 1353: The Situation is Reversed Again
Under the deep night, the shouts and explosions on the battlefield shook the earth, and the constantly erupting power of magic and the flashing cold light of sharp blades complemented each other.
The long sword and the giant axe collided, creating fierce sparks, the war hammer slammed the shield with a roar, and the flames of war reflected the splattering blood and the hideous faces.
On the other side of the Giant Valley, at the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, Lei Xiao looked into the distance, closely watching every move on the battlefield two kilometers away.
At the moment the dragon army came into contact with the troll and tauren armies, it was not uncommon for the absolute defense barriers of both to be broken at the same time.
This is because different absolute defense barriers will generally produce strong magical repulsion between each other, and the wider the coverage of the absolute defense barrier, the more unstable it is. In addition, the movable barrier deployed in the military formation is far less solid than the barrier covering the city. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.
As for the fact that the trolls and tauren army surrounding the mountain predicted the direction of the Dragonborn army's breakout in advance, although it was indeed quite unexpected, if you think about it carefully, it seems to contain an extremely crucial piece of information.
That is why the trolls and tauren judged that the dragon army broke out from a position near the giant valley, which may be inevitably related to the key.
In other words, the location close to the giant valley is the closest to the key point, and the Dragonborn can only break through in this direction to better reach the key point.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's gaze deepened and he began to scan the surroundings of the battlefield.
At present, the location where the two sides are fighting is very close to the edge of the giant valley and is directly opposite our fortress.
Since the Dragonborn chose to break out at this place, and the trolls and tauren also deployed in this place in advance, this undoubtedly means that the key can only be in one direction, that is, in the direction close to our fortress.
As to whether the key is deep in the huge valley in front of us, near our fortress, or even behind our fortress, it is still unknown.
But what is certain is that there is almost 100% chance that we will be drawn into the opponent's vortex of war.
After getting this answer in his mind, Lei Xiao told everyone his opinion immediately without any hesitation.
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Shult's reaction was relatively normal. It was obvious that he had just thought of this. However, Chris and Broy looked visibly nervous.
The Fluorescent Rift is the dividing line between our three major forces and the opposing four major forces. This is something that both sides have recognized since the blank era, and no one will cross the line.
If the key point is located deep in the valley, it would be fine as it does not touch our territory. But once it is on our side, it means that the other party is doing whatever they want on our territory, which is obviously something we cannot allow.
Putting aside the key point, as long as it is on our territory, the other party has no right to interfere at will. Moreover, we have just wiped out the dark cloud brought by the dragon, how can we let the dark cloud come again?
"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. Our initial concerns were correct. The enemy is likely to cross the Great Valley and spread the blazing flames of war to us."
Broy took a deep breath and frowned.
"But if the key point is really in our territory, why did these four forces all choose to ignore us at the same time? Logically speaking, they should at least inform us."
Chris also frowned and clenched her fists.
"This is not difficult to understand. During the hundreds of years that the giant dragon has been entrenched here, we have been defeated repeatedly and have long become the laughing stock of the surrounding forces. The other side also knows that our strength must be greatly reduced if we cannot even participate in the Shadow Market. How can a strong person reason with a weak person?"
Shulter shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm afraid the other side doesn't even know that we have won the battle of the dragon's lair and eliminated the giant dragon entrenched here."
"You are right. Under the suppression of the dragons, we don't even have the courage to leave the city, let alone guard the border."
Broy sighed first, and then said: "Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that this situation has occurred."
"It's a pity that they miscalculated this time. Is our territory a place where we can come and go as we please?"
Chris snorted coldly, put her hands on her hips and said, "If they really go beyond the line recklessly, they will definitely pay the price for their contempt and arrogance!"
"Yes, we are no longer the same as we were before."
Broy's voice was full of determination, and the crown on his head was shining.
Hearing this, Shulte also nodded, his old face like a wooden sculpture full of seriousness.
While everyone was getting ready, they all turned their eyes to Lei Xiao.
Everyone understood clearly that despite what they had said with great confidence just now, Lei Xiao was their greatest support. To be more precise, only under Lei Xiao's leadership would they have the courage to protect this place.
Unconsciously, although Lei Xiao had never regarded himself as the leader of the alliance, he had already become the core of the group.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have said it many times before. The human race will always stand by you and advance and retreat together."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said seriously: "Although we have just experienced a great battle and have not yet fully recovered, as long as we stand shoulder to shoulder, we will be able to exert unimaginable power."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone felt more at ease, and under Lei Xiao's command, they began to further strengthen the fortress's defenses.
Due to the transfer from Icestone City, our main forces have all entered the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, so a large number of wood elves' magic cannons have been deployed on the city walls, and the magic towers throughout the fortress are also manned by the most elite wood elves.
As for the tree people who are best at close combat, they are deployed at the main gate of the fortress, ready to go out of the city to attack or guard the gate at any time.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Lei Xiao's gaze moved and fell on the battlefield on the other side of the giant valley.
After the dragon army came into close combat with the troll and tauren armies, the battlefield entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.
Although trolls and tauren are obviously much larger and have a great advantage in close combat, especially in strength, the dragonborn are strong in flexibility and agility, and have great speed, and can even dive in mid-air to fight.
In this way, coupled with the formation of the Dragonborn army, it was like a wedge that drove straight into the army of trolls and tauren. From the scene, it seemed that they were fighting back and forth with their opponents for a while.
However, if you look closely at the local situation, you will find that the battlefield is far more intense than you imagined.
Whether it was the dragonborn soldiers or the troll and tauren soldiers, they all opened fire at full power, making the battlefield not only filled with dense swords and flying shadows, but also with the power of various spells and explosions one after another, constantly rising in various parts of the battlefield, stirring up waves of blood and rain, which was extremely fierce.
Dragonborn warriors mainly use swords and spears to attack the weak points of their opponents' armor. They rely on their own agility to dodge their opponents' attacks and rarely choose to engage in a head-on confrontation with their opponents.
The trolls and tauren were completely the opposite. They wielded heavy weapons such as flails and hammers wantonly, causing many dragonborn soldiers hovering around them to be knocked down.
Whenever a Dragonborn soldier was hit by a blunt weapon, his armor would basically be dented and his internal organs would be shattered. The few who managed to survive would be slain by the opponents who rushed over. The result can be imagined.
This is not surprising. In such a chaotic and dense battlefield, even if the Dragonborn floating in the air can snatch the opponent's attack, it is very likely to be affected by the attacks of other opponents. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.
In addition, the Dragonborn soldiers hovering in the air also became the target of the opponent's spears and arrows. At such a close distance, the armor on the former obviously could not provide much help. After all, in order to fly and increase speed, most of the Dragonborn soldiers wore light armor, which made their defense capabilities relatively limited.
On the other hand, the trolls and minotaurs wearing heavy armor also kept falling down with screams, or having their necks pierced, or their heads simply hitting the ground, but the losses were obviously smaller.
During the fierce battle, many dragon soldiers attempted to fly over the opponent's line, but they were all intercepted by the invisible corrosive green nets that had been laid down by the opponent's sorcerers and shamans. As long as they touched the green net, they would be entangled by the magical black mist and quickly corroded into a blurry mass of flesh and blood.
"Your Majesty is right. After losing the advantages of long-range magic artillery and terrain, the Dragonborn army, which is relatively weak in close combat, is indeed gradually falling behind!"
Chris, who had just deployed the magic cannon, returned to Lei Xiao's side and said, "If this trend continues, let alone a successful breakout, I'm afraid the Dragonborn Army will soon be in dire straits."
"That's right, and the flower fairy is extremely cautious in her actions. She still hasn't chosen to break out."
Shulter, who also returned later, narrowed his eyes and stared at the direction of the mountain top.
After the Dragonborn army decisively broke through, the flower fairy army quickly moved to the commanding heights where the Dragonborn had just been, and still chose to carry out magical artillery bombardment.
This is no wonder. Although the opponent has gradually gathered half of its troops at the position of the Dragonborn, the other half continues to contain the flower fairies. In addition, the flower fairy soldiers have almost zero melee ability and can only summon golem puppets to fight, so they will not go down the mountain easily.
After all, in close combat, the opponent only needs to kill the summoner of the golem puppet, and everything will be solved.
"I didn't expect the trolls and minotaurs to have the upper hand again."
Broy also returned to Lei Xiao's side and said with a curled lip, "It seems that the battle will be settled soon."
"No, something seems wrong."
In the center of the crowd, Lei Xiao frowned and thought, and said, "Look carefully, the wedge formation deployed by the Dragonborn Army to break out is ingenious, but it also left many legions inside and made it difficult to deploy. Moreover, there is no sign of reinforcement from these legions to the front line. Don't you find it strange?"
"Your Majesty is right. I just noticed that Dragonborn are good at flying combat. Logically, this kind of situation where they cannot fully deploy their weapons should never happen."
Shuerte stroked Muxu gently and agreed, "Unless the legions left inside are unable to deploy for some reason."
"For some reason it can't be unfolded? It's unbelievable."
Broy adjusted the crown on his head and asked puzzledly: "The Dragonborn Army is clearly at a disadvantage at the moment. Why is this happening?"
“It’s really hard to understand.”
Lei Xiao gently stroked his chin, nodded thoughtfully and said: "But since the commander has deployed it in this way, there must be a deep meaning. After all, judging from the performance of the Dragonborn before, the commander is definitely not an ordinary person."
"But the battle situation is obviously so unfavorable. What on earth is the commander thinking?"
Chris's starry eyes were filled with confusion, and it was obvious that she had completely lost track of the current situation.
"Unless the commander is deliberately creating confusion."
Lei Xiao obviously thought of something, and said suddenly: "In other words, those legions that have not been deployed do not actually exist!"
As Lei Xiao finished his words, before everyone could understand the meaning of his words, the situation on the battle took an unexpected turn.
Suddenly, a large army appeared behind the troll and tauren armies. Countless fierce spells and arrows fell from the sky and hit the latter two.
Since the rear of the trolls and the tauren were filled with weak magic-type soldiers such as shamans and warlocks, these forbidden magicians who had just been shouting and screaming with murderous intent were caught off guard and fell down in groups like wheat being cut, causing the rear of the troll and tauren army to be in chaos with ghosts howling and wolves howling.
This is not over yet. After the long-range attack ended, dense and agile soldiers flew over the broken arrows and fallen corpses, wielding sharp blades flashing with cold light, and began to further harvest the defenseless magicians and archers behind the troll and tauren army, making the screams and wails more and more intense.
Under the illumination of the blazing fire on the battlefield, this sudden army and its battle flag quickly became clear, and they were actually the dragon-born soldiers.
Among the dragonborn troops that we had been paying attention to, those legions that had not yet deployed gradually became blurred and soon completely disappeared under the cover of night.
"Your Majesty is indeed very good at predicting things. It turns out that the Dragonborn army was divided into two parts from the beginning. One part was on the top of the mountain to attract the enemy's attention, while the other part was hiding in the dark, ready to stab the enemy's weak points at any time!"
Broy reacted quickly and blurted out: "Now the Dragonborn is not only breaking through, but also attacking the opponent from both sides!"
"That's right. Now the trolls and tauren army, who only care about the front and not the back, will suffer a great loss."
Shulter narrowed his old eyes and nodded slightly, saying, "It seems that the situation on the battlefield is about to be reversed again."
However, after a while, something happened on the fierce battlefield that caught us off guard.
